I think it's averaging almost a million a day. That's not insignificant.
I can't comprehend any of this. My 35 hour work weeks are a thing of the past, but after a year and a half of working 6 days per week at probably 50 per I seem to be settling into a 40-45 hour routine and that's only because I'm being sure to take advantage of our 14 holiday days and unlimited vacation.
This was all while I was an associate, so I didn't have much non-billable time like I did later as a partner. My billables were much closer to my total hours worked back then. As for the two 51-hour stretches, no downtime. They'd just bring in the meals and we'd all eat around a conference table while still negotiating/turning documents. At the financial printer, there would sometimes be times we'd be waiting for the printer to make changes, so there was theoretical downtime, but somehow we'd fill it with work. That time, I remember a partner pointing out to me after we'd been there more than 24 hours that he had never seen this one associate from the other firm even get up and go to the bathroom.That is something I couldn't have accomplished!
I'm not sure big firm associates and medical trainees are representative of "many industries."

Oh yeah, they had me writing articles, doing training, interviewing on campus, and a whole host of other stuff that the partners didn’t want to do. As a former HR professional, they also had me handle internal employment matters, including meeting with staff to lay them off.

IIRC, this was one of the proposed slogans for New Coke back in the day.
Gonna be a bad bad bad Monday for those folks
Right. Donald has, I believe, discussed the idea of returning to Twitter and its impact on Truth.
Indeed, @KathyGriffin is back.
Tesla and SpaceX can effectively run without him, I assume. At least for a while. He has the power to do whatever he wants with his time. I think he’s enjoying this project and the chaos.
He did say he plans to hire a CEO to run Twitter, so he won't always be this hands-on. But it's not uncommon for people who run multiple companies to spend most of their time with the newest startup/acquisition.
According to testimony at his Tesla compensation lawsuit, those Tesla engineers volunteered after hours to help him out
It will be interesting to see what that track is. If it’s to transform Twitter to an “everything” app, there will continually need to be rapid major changes. A boring CEO probably can’t do that.
And major cash infusion, and years of losing money to establish market.
The taking of engineers from Tesla seems like a pretty big deal if that were more than just a short term thing. Not sure how interchangeable these people are but wouldn’t a code guy need to be more of a long term thing, learn what’s going on implement changes?
If Tesla engineers have all that free time, they must not be very hardcore.
I don't think Musk is too worried about European governments. A simple Tweet explaining that the entire European Twitter workforce was only hardcore, and not extremely hardcore, attached to a funny meme, with an 'lol' on it should settle things.
They’re not. I shoulda said “some, highly paid industries with well educated workers, akin to what I’d expect in a place like Twitter”. But I really just wanted to know how lawyers calculate their hours.
Yeah, that's the end of the road. There will be a mass exodus. I'm going to watch implode and then probably close my account. See you all on the other side.Elon’s last two tweets

Nitter is a way to view Twitter without having an account, fyi. You can scroll down someone’s page and won’t get that annoying screen that makes you log in.Could someone link or post the substance for those of us who aren't Tweeters?Elon’s last two tweets
As I said above....each mastadon instance is going to be different. Some will allow stuff others won't. It also has a feature where owners/mods from various instances can give other owners/mods "heads up" kinds of messages about problems they are experiencing. I'm confident there is "censoring" going on...it's not "completely open" as stated a few pages back. That's just flat out incorrect.
By who? It's decentralized.
They've likely been kicked off an individual server. Switching to another server with different terms of service is simple enough. Or, you could roll your own server. I mean, I think you can pay $5 a month for your own server host. Cheaper than Twitter blue.
Another one of these services to ignore
This is how i know it

Maybe I'm missing something, but does this mean that Stormfront could pay for its own server and publish all the hate speech it wants? Obviously they would be blocked by other servers, but that seems like a really good deal for Stormfront since they'd be banned completely from most centrally-run networks.
